Gm7(add C)
42200x
I try so hard to please you 

          Eb
          x3203x
To be the love that fills you up

         Gm7(add C)
         42200x
I try to pour on sweet affection,

      Eb
      x3203x
But I think you got a broken cup.



            Gm7(add C)
            42200x
Because you can't believe I love you

         Eb
         x3203x
I try to tell you that there is no doubt,

       F5/C      Fsus4/C       Gm(add A)
       x00200    x00000        4240xx
But as soon as I fill you with all I've got

            Eb                             F5/C   Fsus4/C
            x3203x                         x00200 x00000
That little break will let it run right out.



Bb/D              Eb+2
x20020            x32030
I cannot make you happy.


             Bb/D                 Eb+2
             x20020               x32030
I'm learning love and money never do

          Bb/F     F#+             Gm7(add C)
          22002x   32102x          42200x
But I can pour myself out 'til I'm empty

             Eb                     F5/C   Fsus4/C
             x3203x                 x00200 x00000
Trying to be just who you'd want me to.



    Bb/D              Eb
    x20020            x3203x
But I cannot make you happy

     F#+                Gm7(add C)
     32102x             42200x
Even though our love is true

For there's a break in the cup that holds love

Inside of you.

[repeat intro 1x]



      Gm7(add C)
      42200x
Now I begin to understand you

         Eb
         x3203x
As you explain this fear you feel.

                  Gm7(add C)
                  42200x
It's when you see me fall into that sorrow

             Eb
             x3203x
it makes you doubt the love is real.



           Bb/D                    Eb+2        
           x20020                  x32030
'Cause the lonely wind still blows through me

       Bb/D          Eb+2
       x20020        x32030
I turn away so can't see

        F5/C        Fsus4/C      Gm(add A)
        x00200      x00000       4240xx
But now how could I still be so empty

             Eb+2                  F5/C   Fsus4/C
             x3203x                x00200 x00000
With all the love that you pour on me.



        Bb/D               Eb+2
        x20020             x32030
I guess you cannot make me happy

         Bb/D              Eb+2
         x20020            x32030
That's a money back guarantee.

            Bb/F       F#+                Gm7(add C)
            22002x     32102x             42200x
But you can pour yourself out 'til you're empty

             Eb+2                     F5/C   Fsus4/C
             x32030                   x00200 x00000
Trying to be just who I'd want you to be.



Bb/D               Eb+2
x20020             x32030
You cannot make me happy

              F#+         Gm7(add C)
              32102x      42200x
It's just the law of gravity

And that break in the cup that holds love,

Inside of me.

[repeat first 2 measures of intro]


             Ab(add Bb)
             53300x 
So if you're tempted to rescue me

                 Eb+2               Bb/D
                 x32030             x20020
Drowning in this quicksand up to my neck

           Ab(add Bb)
           53300x
Before you grab my hand to save me

              Eb+2                 Bbsus2/C  BbMaj9/C  C7sus4  Fsus4/C
              x32030               x05000    x04000    x02000  x00000
Why don't you ask me if I'm finished yet.



        Bb/D               Eb+2
        x20020             x32030
Because you cannot make me happy

             Bb/D            Eb+2
             x20020          x32030
Not when I'm empty inside of me 

            Bb/F       F#+              Gm7(add C)
            220020     32102x           42200x
But you can pull yourself right in here with me

            Eb+2                    F5/C   Fsus4/C
            x32030                  x00200 x00000
My misery'd love to have your company.



Bb/D                      Eb+2
x20020                    x32030
We cannot trade empty for empty

        F#+            Gm7(add C)
        32102x         42200x
We must go to the waterfall

For there's a break in the cup that holds love,
A break in the cup that holds love,
A break in the cup that holds love,
Inside us all.  Inside us all.
